I may have left academia, but I still believe strongly in education and fostering creative and curious learners.
What a friggin' thrill it is to get such a great review from a fellow writer. Thank you, Patrick!
www.goodreads.com/review/show/... Check out my mini review of @jameygallagher.bsky.social recently released book, BODIES IN BAGS. Told myself I was going to dive in last night and couldn’t put it down! Excellent collection worthy of wider attention.

Oooo. I love this idea. And I'm a fan of your writing, Barlow.
Here's the title story of my new collection, a little piece of domestic weirdness, and a short story in 2nd collective.

Thanks so much, Chloe!
Oh man. I threw my back out AND I lost my wallet. Someone buying my book would at least make me feel better.
It's alive!!
BODIES IN BAGS is out there in the world. With another kickass cover from @egallagher.bsky.social
It's not going to be for everyone, but if you're into dark, gritty crime fiction, I hope you'll check it out.

Last night I had a dream that I was writing away on a new story that was going like gangbusters. Then I woke up. Now I can write only stubby little nowhere sentences.
THIS BOOK IS SO GOOD Y'ALL. One of the best out there working.
Libby!!! Thank you so much!
Hell yeah! Thank you for sharing. I love Cowboy Jamboree.
Thank you, Dan!!

A pic of Jamey Gallagher reading at a venue in Baltimore. He wears a black t-shirt and dark blue jeans and is in front of a microphone. In front of him are the heads of people listneing-- a woman with blue hair, a woman in a white silk shirt with long black hiar.
Loved having the chance to read from BODIES IN BAGS at the Cornerstone event last night along with a whole slate of great writers, including @deirdrelockwood.bsky.social and @grantclauser.bsky.social
Four book covers: In the Desert by Barbara Byer, The Barre Incidents by Lauren Bolger, A Woman's Guide to True Crime by Mary Thorson and Every Galaxy a Circle by Chloe Clark
I saw a shirt at a reading that said "Read Women Writers." I do. Four books I have recently read, am reading, or will be reading with great anticipation very soon.

So cool to be part of the Turn and Work Shortlist for a second time, with a bunch of AMAZING writers and stories.
"Several days after reading Jamey Gallagher’s story of a very unusual houseplant, I was going back to try to unpack some of the strange ideas in it."

When students don't outsource their creativity it's the most powerful thing in the world. Too many seem to be convinced they can't create and need AI to create for them.
